Write different types of record in one output file
Utilization of this is relatively simple. You can now include several TextFile Adapters on the WRITE side that write to the same output file. Previously, a "File already in use" error would be reported in such cases, inhibiting further processing. The new filter feature in the Filter Heater (see below) can be used to control which record type and which Adapter should currently write to the output file.
For example, output a group header as the first row by the first Adapter and all subsequent rows of the group via a second Adapter with an alternative record layout.
Any number of Adapters on the WRITE side and Filter Heaters can be used in one processing step.
Release notes for version 4.4.0 on April 6, 2024
Filter Heater with differentiation between specific Adapters
If there is more than one Adapter on the WRITE side in a processing step, you can now specify in the Filter Heater whether processing of the current row or the current data set should be ignored for all Adapters or only for a specific Adapter. The filter condition itself is implemented by using the customary IF-THEN-ELSE Heater.
Conversion of encryption to AES with a 256-bit key
The encryption used internally has been upgraded from 3DES to AES with a 256-bit key. This change does not only affect stored passwords. Encrypted parameters that are used as transfer parameters in the Batch Module, for example, are now encrypted with AES.
Support of XML attributes when reading parent fields
When reading the sub-nodes of an XML file via XAPTH with the XML Adapter, attributes of parent elements/nodes can now also be read. Previously, this feature was limited to parent nodes only.
FlowHeater Server improvements
Some minor improvements have been made to FlowHeater Server. In addition to FlowHeater Parameters, environment variables can now also be used in email notifications. Environment variables are simply inserted using the format %VARIABLE NAME% into the text. By contrast, FlowHeater Parameters are inserted using the format $PARAMETER NAME$. As of this version, FlowHeater Parameters and environment variables are no longer case-sensitive.
In addition, a maximum size for file attachments can now be specified for the configuration. If a file attachment exceeds this size, the notification email is sent without the file attachment.
